Variation in Inflammatory/Regulatory Cytokines in Secondary, Tertiary, and Quaternary Challenges with Dengue Virus

Abstract: Abstract. Secondary heterologous dengue infection is a risk factor for severe disease manifestations because of the immune-enhancement phenomenon. Succeeding clinical infections are seldom reported, and the clinical course of tertiary and quaternary dengue infections is not clear. Cuba represents a unique environment to study tertiary/quaternary dengue infections in a population with known clinical and serologic dengue markers and no dengue endemicity. We took advantage of this exceptional epidemiologic condit… Show more

“…High concentrations of IL-6 were found in dengue patients in our study, and this is consistent with most studies [ 31 , 42 , 49 51 ]. IL-6 has been associated with the increment of vascular permeability, plasma leakage, pleural effusion, and ascites [ 41 , 51 , 52 ]. IL-6 induces leukocyte recruitment, local inflammation, and damage to endothelial cells.…”

“…Cytokine levels in primary and secondary DENV infections have been compared, and the differences are not enough to indicate that DHF pathogenesis is completely attributable to increased cytokine expression during secondary DENV infection, despite their importance in endothelial damage and inflammatory responses ( Chakravarti & Kumaria 2006 , Priyadarshini et al 2010) . There is also evidence to suggest that the cytokine expression levels decreased in subsequent DENV infections ( Sierra et al 2012) . In this study, only primary DENV infections were considered, and the higher levels of most of the analysed cytokines were observed in samples from DHF patients who were infected with DENV2.…”

“…Further work has demonstrated the T cell response was most marked to NS3 protein, with high cytokine and low CD107a (a marker of cell degranulation) predominating 54 . The resulting cytokine release, particularly tumor necrosis factor alpha and other vasoactive mediators, may then play a role in the increase in capillary permeability seen in severe dengue 55 57 .…”
